Two men arrested after county lines raid in Bedford

Two men were arrested this morning after an early morning raid by police officers carrying out an on-going investigation into county drugs lines.

Cannabis, mobile phones, money, and drug related paraphernalia were also seized during the search from the property on Harpur Street.

A 20-year-old man from London and a 33-year-old man from Bedford have been taken to police custody for questioning.

They were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in supply of a controlled drug.

PC James West said: “Drugs underpin much of the most harmful and violent crime we see across the county, so we will continue to proactively target those who seek to bring this harm to our communities.”
